Book Synopsis
It has been estimated that over 500 European women travelled or lived in Canada's Northwest Territories before 1940. They came as visiters, journalists, and artists, or worked as nurses, scientists, and missionaries. In Alone in Silence Barbara Kelcey describes the women who lived and worked in the north and the unique situations they faced.

Trade Review
"A solid book. Alone in Silence makes a nice contribution to northern Canadian historical understanding, and addresses a significant gap in the writing of women's history in Canada." Ken Coates, author of The Marshall Decision and Native Rights
